Research summary

AI-generated

Breah LaSarre studies bacteria and microbial communities, including how bacteria cause plant diseases (such as cucurbit yellow vine disease in squash and cucumber crops) and how they respond to environmental conditions. The work combines genome sequencing, bioinformatics (computational analysis of genetic data), and experiments on bacterial behavior and physiology. Recent projects also include tools for classifying microbes from DNA sequences and understanding how bacteria are spread by insects.
